IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS REFRIGERATOR.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

CHILD SAFETY

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children.

Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.

Proper Disposal of Your

Refrigerator/Freezer

Risk of child entrapment.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous — even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in

place so children may not easily climb inside.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this refrigerator will operate properly.

• Refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet. The power cord of the

appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded threeprong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord or

adapter plug.

• If voltage varies by 10% or more, performance of your refrigerator may be affected. Operating refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor.

• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentically, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle.

• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb.

NOTE: Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb or other electrical components.

• Do not operate refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

Avoid fire hazard or

electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.

LEVELING

The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting firmly on solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. NOTE: It is Very Important for your refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

To Level Your Refrigerator:

After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

CLEANING

• Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator interior, and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry.

Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.

• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.

FIRST STEPS

This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner’s Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow

these important first steps.

INSTALLATION

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

• For the most efficient operation, the refrigerator should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 10° F (-12° C) or exceed 110° F (43° C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed to automatically maintain the selected interior refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.

•

Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.

Leave a 4 inch (101.6 mm) space on the back and 3 inches (76.2 mm) on the sides and back of the refrigerator for adequate circulation.

NOTE: The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your refrigerator.
